AAAAA!!!
Dui bu qi!! Wo wang ji zhe ge 'thread' lol!
dui bu qi = sorry
wo = I
wang ji = forgot
zhe ge = this
Anyways, Jo you are right! yao bu yao means 'want or not' or 'have to or not'. Other examples of this are you mei you (have or not), ai bu ai (love or not), zhi (dao) bu zhi dao (know or not).
Notice that most verbs when used in the negative have BU in front of them, but for the verb 'you' meaning to have you have to use the word 'mei'. For example wo mei you nan peng you (I don't have a boyfriend).
Mei can also be used to indicate past tense...
eg. wo mei kan dian shi (I didn't watch TV) or wo bu kan dian shi (I don't watch TV).
Vocab:
wo = I
kan = to see/read/watch
dian shi = TV (dian = electric, shi = vision)
zhi dao = to know
yao = to want/to have to
you = to have
mei you = don't have
Hope this helps...
I will post more soon...promise I won't forget again!!! DUI BU QIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and yah wo bu hui gei ni men gong ke! (I won't give you homework)
hui = will/can
gei = to give
ni men = you plural
gong ke = homework
;D

Cherrie: There are many ways of saying I really like you: for instance, wo hen xi huan ni is the literal translation. But if you wan to emphasise it then you can say wo zhen de hen xi huan ni (I like you a lot) or wo chao xi huan ni (I super like you).
Anna: I think because of the lyrics of the song Bu Hui Ai here mean won't love.

Wo Bu Yao = I don't want/have to
Wo Bu Zhi Dao means I don't know
Wo = I
Bu = don't
Zhi Dao = to know (two character verb)

Ok let's go over these ones... ;D
1. RANG NI = Let you/allow you
2. SHEN ME = what
3. TAO HAO Not sure about the 'tao' here but hao means good.
4. WO BU TONG= I don't understand (can also say wo bu ming bai, wo kan bu dong or wo ting bu dong)
nan dao xiang ni xiang ni xiang ni
zhi neng shou cang zai xin di
zhong yu ming bai le zui ai wo de
shi ni For this one I need some characters to translate properly...but I'll look it over...
ru guo chuo chen
rang ni gen kuai le Allow you to be happy/have happiness
ru guo=if right? YEP that's right!
kuai le=happy DUI!!
nan guo=sad Nan guo translates as 'very upset'/'hurt badly' kind of sad but you are right!
Hope this helps a little...Jo I hope I did it right!
